1 Transboundary cooperation in the flood forecasting and warning service within the international Morava river basin Eva Soukalová Český hydrometeorologický ústav, pobočka Brno

2 Morava River Catchment

3 View of the basin Area Total: km2 in CZ: km2 Dyje: km2 Important rivers March (Morava) Thaya (Dyje) Svratka Jihlava Bečva Reservoirs Vranov (101 mio m3) Nové Mlyny (79 mio m3) Polder Underneath Nové Mlýny

4 Floods in the Morava river basin winter and spring floods 1862, 1891, 2006 Summer floods 1883, 1930, 1938, 1997, 2002 Flash floods 1996, 2002, 2003, 2006 Ice floods Comparison of summer flood 2002, spring and flash flood 2006 gauge station Podhradí - Dyje

5 Arrangement of the international cooperation The bilateral agreements The exchange of all information related to flood protection and actual flood routing is realised by the Directivies for the forecasting, reporting and warning duty on the Czech-Slovak border waters and Czech-Austrian border waters River basin rivers The Danube river basin Morava The Danube river Basin Dyje, Morava Riparian countries Czech Republic Slovakia Czech Republic Austria Treaties Treaty between the Government of the Czech Republic and the Government of the Slovak Republic about cooperation on transboundary watercourses Treaty between Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Austrian Republic on regulation of water management issues related to border waters Year of establishment

6 Flood Action Plans of sub-basins To be adopted and published by countries preferebly by the end of 2009 Table of content 1 Introduction Characterisation of Current Situation Target Settings Regulation on Land Use and Spatial Planning Reactivation of former, or creation of new, retention and detention capacities Technical Flood Defences Preventive Actions Capacity Building of Professionals Raising Awareness and Preparedness of General Public Prevention and Mitigation of Water Pollution Due to Floods Measures to Achieve Targets Regulation on Land Use and Spatial Planning Reactivation of former, or creation of new, retention and detention capacities Technical Flood Defences Preventive Actions Capacity Building of Professionals Raising Awareness and Preparedness of General Public Prevention and Mitigation of Water Pollution Due to Floods 3

8 Conclusions The flood damages were estimated on 35 mil. Eur, there were large damages on the agricultural land due to flooding Three people lost their lives during the flood Lessons learned 60 % of the Dyje catchment lies in Austria, cooperation with Austrian institutions must be improved The permanent task is improving of the meteorological and hydrological forecasting and warning

20 Central European Flood Risk Assessment and Management CEFRAME Goal of the Project In the CENTROPE Territory (Morava, west Slovakia, Northwesthungary and Austria) there are the rivers Morava-Dyje, Danube and Leitha For this territory we must - compare and analyse the existing Floodprotection directories - flood risk analysis - harmonization of the flood design criterias

21 CEFRAME - results Review and assessment of the current situation (including natural, hydrological conditions, floodplains and flood defences) Flood risk analysis and mapping Potential Damage Maps Draft for the harmonization design criteria and safety regulations along and across border sections, Floodmanagement To raise the awareness and preparedness of the general public Example for the other regions (Best Practice)

22 Area for cooperation improvement to interlink regional and national agencies on sub-busins to facilitate and promote the exchange of source data Routing of the information downstream as the basis of improving efficiency and lead time of flood forecasting and warning To improve the methodology and tools of data collection, processing, forecasting and dissemination Harmonization for a common approach in assessment of flood-prone areas and evaluation of flood risk (CEFRAME)
